The Archive fully supports The Quick Reads initiative and this year's titles are in bookshops and libraries now. Priced at £1.99 the books are designed to encourage people who claim not to have the time to read, to get reading. Check out the Archive's recent review of Peter James' A Perfect Murder - a slim quick read with as much depth as any five hundred page plus volume.
This year's titles run across all genres - from all out action to chick lit to celebrity memoirs.
Check out the Quick Reads website for 2010 HERE
There are ten new titles out there now - something for all tastes, so please support this initiative. Who knows these slim books may help develop a lifetime of reading pleasure. As Stephen King said and then said he didn't mean it - if you don't learn to read and write you'll end up in the military. Mind you Andy McNab hasn't done too bad and his, Last Night Another Soldier is one of this year's titles.
Look out for the posters in bookshops, libraries and in the back window of the Archive's car.
